@BetoObadi@MelaninDominant The thing taya me. “Akata” and Toks” actually were endearments until Akata was misinterpreted as “cotton picker” in the movie Sugar Hill feat. Wesley Snipes. It was weaponized by non Yoruba speaking Africans as a racial slur since that time. Loved Shalamar in Lagos🩷
@OluwaseunMv9@fbanwa9 It’s a minute percentage if you look at 230 million Nigerians. The mistake you all make is looking at Lagos as Nigeria Stop exaggerating.
@Albertteac Tyla’s music is not Afrobeats. They need to do same at the Grammys. Imagine Tyla collecting the first afrobeat award with Fela walk-up stinger in the background. Ridiculous.
@BlackAndNative1 They might as well cancel it. Out of the three times the award went to Tyla who we do not really rate as an Afrobeats artiste. They should make it Amapiano. We are good.
@dpburnette@HighIQnobrainer@tariqnasheed You have a point there but like I said it’s more complex than brainwashing. Would you say 95% of your NFL & NBA players are brainwashed with their light skinned and white wives? I think it’s more of a status & preference issue of black men.
@dpburnette@HighIQnobrainer@tariqnasheed It’s a bit more complex than looking like the colonizers alone. Being light is equated to being beautiful as well, thanks to the men both here and at your end. The thirst for light skinned women drives the craze to bleach
@dpburnette@HighIQnobrainer@tariqnasheed Also 70% of Nigerian women are rural most likely farm hands. That is way more than 50 million women who are struggling to eat, feed their kids and survive. Surely even the cheapest bleaching creams would not be the priority in the markets or fields.
